We performed a comparison between Imperva SecureSphere Database Security and Oracle Audit Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"Currently, we have audit features for auditing databases, for example, granular auditing, which we really enjoy. We've been using it to check what users do."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are the user-friendliness, easy-to-use interface compared to competitors, database operations do not need a specialist, and simple to manage for our security team. Additionally, the solution can show all the databases and the level of sensitivity. It can show what is more sensitive or less sensitive."
"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"It is a good product for controlling all databases. It is helpful for auditing the data. When people are doing any actions on the databases, they are recorded automatically in the vault. You can work on the collected data to find out exactly what is happening on a database. You can implement database encryption on the databases to control people's access to the database content, such as rows and tables."
"Technical support is perfect."
"Our clients can see all of their past actions or the wrong activity done on the network. We can load the diagnostics for the business."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"Our client was scheduled to take a year and a half to set up compliance, but by deploying this product they were able to do the compliance reports within three months."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise."
"Imperva needs to improve their cloud capabilities."
"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"Currently, you need two servers: one for Audit Vault and one for the firewall. If they can combine them into one server, it will be great because it is costly to have two servers. It will also make its installation easier. I have heard that in the new version, there will be only one server for both."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
